Bard CEP:

Bard CEP is looking for motivated students who are ready to embark on an exciting educational journey through their pioneering master’s degree programs in environmental policy and climate policy. The deadline for admission is March 15, 2011.

Students come from a variety of academic disciplines, and yet they all bring to Bard a passion about their future role as environmental leaders. Interdisciplinary course work, faculty-student mentorships, and professional internship experiences provide the platform students need to develop academically and professionally. The goal of Bard CEP’s graduate training is to provide the knowledge and tools necessary to create leaders who have the ambition and courage to change the future.

Bard College, located on the Hudson River 100 miles north of New York City, is a private, coeducational liberal arts college with undergraduate programs enriched by research institutes and graduate programs. Founded in 1860, the College draws its approximately 2,600 undergraduate and graduate students from all regions of the United States and abroad.

The Bard Center for Environmental Policy was created in 1999 to promote education, research, and public service on critical issues pertaining to the natural and built environments. Earning either an M.S. in environmental policy or an M.S. in climate science and policy, Bard CEP graduates pursue high-level careers in research and policy. The value of Bard CEP’s approach has been recognized through established partnerships with Pace Law School, the Bard College Master of Arts in Teaching Program, Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, and Peace Corps. They host weekly information sessions online for prospective graduate students to learn more.
